Polynesia (UK: / Ë p É l Éª Ë n iË z i É /; US: / Ë p ÉË l É Ë n iË Ê É /, from Greek: ÏÎ¿Î»ÏÏ polys many and Greek: Î½á¿ÏÎ¿Ï nÄsos island) is a subregion of Oceania, made up of more than 1,000 islands scattered over the central and southern Pacific Ocean.
A survey of 1,075 people by retailmenot.com found that cash, checks and gift cards remain popular choices, cited as preferred by half the respondents. On average, respondents say $165 is an appropriate cash gift for high-school graduates, while $464 is good for someone earning a bachelor's degree. If your friend or relative just attained a graduate degree, plan on shelling out about $772. Those figures are averages, not round numbers.
Makes perfect sense. But those of us who want clear-cut gifting protocol will still fret and wonder if $50 is too much or too little. A recent retailmenot.com survey of more than 1,000 people suggested $165 is an appropriate cash gift for high school graduates. Maybe I'm just cheap, but that seems high. In my opinion (take it for what you will), $30 to $50 is fair for a casual acquaintance and $100-ish for a family member or very close friend.
